Strain & Boil

Strain & Boil was a British cotton mill located in the Lambeth section of London during the mid-19th century. The mill had great successes during the 1850s, employing the most cotton workers in London. During the 1860s, it came into the possession of local Blighters leader Cletus Strain, and Strain & Boil declined rapidly under his ownership. The business started to rely heavily on child labor, so Clara O'Dea asked Rooks leaders Jacob and Evie Frye to infiltrate the factory and free the children. They assassinated foreman Ulysses Wood before freeing the children, and the factory would return to being a successful business.
